It was a saxon.
So my first is, saxon vs skywatcher? Which is better and what will last longer?
second question is, is there any good sales on right now?
Thanks in advance, t.

Congrats on the Binos 15x 70 are great but for me need a tripod , I struggle with 10x50 so normaly use 7x50.
Are you sure the mirror on your scope is Pitted? you have to take it out and clean it first , I have a lot of scopes and my Tasco 11TE-5 its 55 years old and the mirror is still ok so its nothing to do with age rather how well it was looked after , I saw a 6 inch reflector where the mirror was rusted after 2 years , it was left outside open .... in a harbour town !
